I did get one of them big old offensive linemen knee braces for $1800 though! Thankfully most of it was covered by OHIP...

I'm sure the road to recovery is much easier for pro athletes, with all their time and attention going towards rehab. A lot tougher for the average dude/gal having work and all that other good stuff.

Left knee isn't too good, doctor has only performed meniscus surgery(in Feb) - ACL & MCL still torn but he thinks its best if I dont do surgery and try to rehab them back to normal. I'm able to run, jog, ride and everything, havent really tried pivoting though I did play a couple games at second base to end the season in September.

But at the pre-op appointment I was informed that I won't be needing surgery anymore. Just keep rehabbing it. I also ended up on a clinical trial, got paid £1500 for following hospital's advice on recovery + will get paid £500 on five-year follow up appointment

I had to sign privacy waivers about my knee injury and rehab so they could use obtained info for studies, comparisons, etc..

rocwell wrote: View PostEverything was free after they put me on a university's clinical trial. Hospital paid for private rehab and expenses. I went through ~6 months long rehab which involved strengthening, mobility and proprioception exercises. Next 3 months were followed by functional drills like hopping exercises, box jumps, etc. Rehab took much longer than expected though. I still felt lingering pain by the 4th month. Pain only got better at the end of rehab.

The physio therapists charge so much here, I probably did about 6 or 7 sessions before my benefits ran out. Thankfully a friend was doing personal training around that time, so after the first couple months of doing just stretches I got into the weights. Plan on getting into the weights for my left knee within a couple weeks, then I should be good to go by spring time.
I still remember the first knee POP and then the second knee SNAP CRACKLE POP from both injuries clear as day...
